McCarthy Stone Resales

McCarthy Stone offers a lot more than an exciting new property for your retirement

We provide safety, security, companionship, and, if you feel the need, care and support. This support is at the heart of our values, and even includes our resale services, ensuring that reselling your home, or your loved ones’ home, is as smooth as possible. Our dedicated McCarthy Stone Resales team is here to help you every step of the way, from sales support, to promoting your property to our database of interested buyers.

The changes we have made to our products and services since 2010 have helped support our resale prices. They include the following:

• We now operate every development we build, ensuring the level of service and quality of the scheme is kept at a very high standard. We have integrated our services, development and landlord operations and obligations which helps to retain the value of our properties. 
• As we remain as the landlord and managing agent on all new developments, our customers do not have to deal with any third party.
• We changed the length of our leases from 125-year leases to 999-years for all of our new apartments on developments launched for sale after 1 January 2015. This means customers do not need to worry about lease renewals.
• We have set up an in-house Resales Team who are best placed to promote the benefits of living in a McCarthy Stone property and maintain a database of people interested in buying. This is part of our new long-term focus.
• We have improved our products by providing more internal space, additional car parking and enhanced kitchens and bathrooms. We are also reviewing our services on a regular basis and now offer new ways to pay for the services we deliver.
• We now offer much more tenure choice. In 2020, around a third of our new completions were for rent or part rent, part buy. We have also launched new partnerships with Anchor Hanover and Homes England to provide more affordable options and alternatives to outright purchase.
• We also offer service charge deferment options to support our customers and their families when they come to resell.

This independent research by the Elderly Accommodation Counsel (EAC) in 2019 also confirmed that new retirement properties typically increase in value. 

Properties built before 2010

Properties built prior to 2010 are typically managed by a third party and private landlord which is not connected to McCarthy Stone. For queries about these properties please contact the relevant managing agent and landlord.
